Expand Your Musical Palettes With New Releases From Pink Fairies, Stimuli and Textbeak

The English rock band, the Pink Fairies have a history that dates back to the early 1970s. Their music has been described as psychedelic rock, while their most recent release titled "Resident Reptiles" showcases a harder edge to the band's classic sound. With the addition of former Hawkwind bassist Alan Davey and original Motorhead drummer Lucas Fox, Pink Fairies turn their new 8-song album into a modern hard rock blast of energy. They begin with the title song, "Resident Reptiles" and "Old Enuff To Know Better" as the chugging rhythm and solid guitar riffs kick things off with a positive rock vibe. Their renewed high-powered energy continues with the classic, head-banging vibe of "Lone Wolf" and the guitar driven journey of "Whipping Boy." Pink Fairies finish up their new album with the epic-sounding progressive rock piece "Apologize."
